It’s funny how the authorities are busy lulling the public into a false sense of safety by implementing the easiest safety methods. No hoots given to additional measures to ensure proper ventilation in the rooms, nothing about the fit and seal of the masks that will be provided. Judging from the FGME guidelines, it’ll be surgical masks. If you think the fit of a surgical mask is of any use in a room full of students, you’re in for a ride! And lastly, nothing about eye protection. Going by the FMGE guidelines, these exams would also ask students to wear gloves. Why you ask? It’s not because it is more important for protection while you sit and breath in a room full of 50-60 students through (around?) a poorly fitted surgical mask but it’s because it is easy.
